Salamander Resort & Spa

About Salamander Resort & Spa

Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, in the historic 18th-century village of Middleburg, the heart of Virginia’s equestrian and wine country, lies Salamander Resort & Spa. One of the region’s most luxurious day and resort spas can be found at this 340-acre northern Virginia equestrian estate; the lavish 23,000-square-foot sanctuary mingles body-mind spirituality, presenting 14 treatment rooms with private outdoor stone terraces or fireplaces. Following a signature service—Salamander complements its relaxation amenities with its adventurous ones, featuring wellness rituals like equestrian yoga—guests can take a dip in the spa infinity pool, lounge in surrounding cabanas, or curl up next to a fire pit, all tucked away within a private courtyard.

Salamander, 45 minutes from the nation’s capital, offers an opulent yet residential ambience: Upon arrival, guests enter a living room overlooking the property’s grand lawn and thick woodland that leads to miles of trails and outdoor pursuits, including a full-service equine center; indoors, visitors will find a library and billiards room.

Menus of Services / Classes

Salamander Spa is designed to suit spa-goers looking to balance body and mind. Well-appointed spaces include private stone treatment terraces, a couple’s suite, vitality room with pool and tepidarium chairs, sun-lit relaxation lounges, and a pool area hidden in a private courtyard.

The treatment menu is varied, with highlights such as the Lava Shell, Riders Relief, and Quirogolf massage modalities; La Alternativa, O2 Awakening, vitamin C, and blueberry anti-aging facials; Citrus Drench, Chromatic Watercolor, and Rasul wraps; and aroma, honey, organic, bamboo, and marine body polish scrubs. The Signature Facial stems from the classic European facial and is tailored to each guest’s skin needs.

This is a beautiful spa and resort. I took my niece to this spa and had a lovely time. We will definitely return for a weekend retreat next time.

Discovered new Destination Spa

Had heard about the new resort opening and finally visited for a Spa Getaway with my friends. Was little unusual as you can't access the spa without almost going into the public area if you are coming from your room. But once you arrive, the staff could not have been more gracious and accommodating. The outside pool wasn't open because something happened with the heater on the first day but it was up and running the second. Amazingly peaceful and relaxing on the pool terrace. Treatments were all fine but what stood out were the wet areas with an experiential shower and wonderfully heated stone chairs. Will definitely be back for a longer stay.

Facilities & Amenities

A bevy of exciting amenities await visitors of Salamander Resort & Spa. Along with the spa, the jewel of the property is its equestrian program, complete with a practice ring, riding trails, and instructional classes. Guests can also get their exercise fix with yoga, meditation, and breathing classes; more intense workout sessions include boot camp, cardio kickboxing, circuit training, and Hit the Trails bike rides. Two tennis courts, lawn games such as bocce and croquet, and three swimming pools—an indoor pool, outdoor family pool, and private infinity pool found at the spa—are available to guests as well.

By day, Middleburg’s numerous shops, restaurants, equestrian fields, and nearby wineries keep travelers entertained, while nightfall brings about Salamander’s What’s Up Night Explorers treks and self-guided What Comes Out at Night walks. Many golf courses, including a Jack Nicklaus signature course, are 15 minutes from the resort, and Washington, D.C., is located approximately 60 minutes away by car.
